SPECIE'ICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 316,542, dated April 28, 1885.

Appli' ation filed February 17, 1885. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it mag/,concern- Beit known that I, THoMAs K. HANsBERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bloomington, in the county of Franklin and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Motors, of which the following is a specication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an improvement inV motors; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is aside elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line :rx of Fig. l.

A represents a Vertical frame that is composed of the posts a, cross-beam a', and braces a2. This frame rises from a platform that is here represented as being located overa well. On the upper ends ofthe posts a is pivoted a horizontal beam, B, as at b, and from the projecting ends of this beam depend the vertical swinging levers C. Longitudinallyextending bars D are secured on the beam B, and these bars are connected to the levers C by rods or wires E, which brace and stiften the said levers. Weights F are secured to the lower ends of the swinging levers, and one of said levers has a bracket, o, projecting from its outer side at a suitable height from the ground, and on the outer end of this bracket is pivoted a circular seat, G, which is free to revolve on its pivot. Arms H are also secured to this lever to be grasped by the person on the seat. Near each end of the path of this swinging lever is placed a vertical springboard, I. The person seated on the pivoted seat kicks against one of these spring-boards, which causes the lever to swing in' the opposite direction, and while making this .movement the operator turns about and faces the spring-board in the direction in which he is traveling and kicks against said springboard, and thus swings the lever in the contrary di rection7 as will be very readily understood. A horizontal frame, A', is secured to the vertical frame A at a suitable height, and in one au endless belt or band, T, that connects thel drum P to the pulley N. From the lower side ofthe beam B depends an arm, b', and fromthe upper side oi' said beam extends the arm b2. 1n the arm b is pivoted apawl, R, and in the arm b2 is pivoted a pawl, S. These pawls engage with the ratchet-wheel M, and as the swing is oscillated rotate the shaft K the mo tion oi' which is communicated to the shaftL by the band T, as will be very readily understood.

A rock-shaft, U, isjournaled in the frame Al in rear of the shaft K, and to this rockshaft are secured the tappet-arm u and the brakearm u. The tappet-arm u is adapted to raise up the pawls and release them from engagement with the ratchet-wheel, and the brakearm a' is adapted to bear against the under side of l(he pulley N when the tappet-arm is raised and serve as a brake for said pulley. A cord, a?, is secured to the outer end ofthe tappet-arm, passes over the beam B and reaches to the platform. By means of this cord the rock-shaft U is operated.

V represents a sheave that is secured in a bracket lthat is fastened to a cross-bar of the frame A', and directly below this sheave is an opening, o, that is made in the platform. A rope, o', is attached at one end to the drum l?, passes over the sheave V, and is attached to a bucket, o2. When the motor is operated, the bucket is raised from the well. Then the bucket is emptied,the cord u2 is pulled, which causes the pawls to be released from the ratchet-wheel, and the bucket descends into the well by its own gravity, rotating the shafts K and L in a direction reverse to that indicate by the arrows as it descends.

In order to prevent the bucket from descending too fast, the brake previously de.

scribed is provided, by means of which the descent of the bucket can be controlled at will. If it be desirable to raise the bucket and moves these hand-levers up as he bears faster than it would be by the drum P, the

' hoisting-rope will be attached to the drum O,

instead of to the drum P; but when thus attached more power will be required to raise' the bucket.

W represents a trough or spout that is pivoted on a stand, w, on the platform, and that is adapted to be swung over the opening therein after the bucket has been hoisted, and when the bucket is lowered a proper distance it rests upon the pivoted swinging spout.

If desired, a seat may be attached to both of the swinging levers, and thus adapt the motor to be operated by two persons, which will give an increase of power.

v Near the lower end of one of the posts a are pivoted the foot-levers X, the free ends of which move vertically. These levers are connected by cords or wires x to the crossbeam x', that is secured on the beam B near one end thereof. A .person standing on the foot-levers can throw his weight rst upon one of the sheaves y', that are secured to the platform.

The'operator, standing upon the foot-levers, grasps one of the hand-levers with each hand the foot-levers down, and he is thus enabled to add his strength to his weight in operating the motor, as will be very readily understood.

If it be desired to apply this motor to use for operating apump, the pump rod or rods can be to the lever for actuating the ratchet-wheel, substantially as described.

2. The combination ot' the vertical frame, the beam B, pivoted on the upper side thereof, said beam having the arms bb2, the swinging levers (one or more) secured to the beam, the shafts K and L, shaft K, having ratchetwheel M, pulley N, and drum O, shaft L, having drum P, an endless belt connecting pulley N with drum P, and pawls pivoted to arms b and b2 and engaging with the ratchet-wheel, substantially as described.V 3. rPhe combination ofthe vertical frame and the horizontal frame, the beam B, pivoted on thevertical frame, said beam having arms b b2, the swinging levers (one or more) secured to the beam, shafts K and L, j'ournaled in the horizontal frame,shaft K,having ratchetwheel M, pulley N, and drum O, shaft L,having drum P, belt T, connecting drumP hwith pulley N;

pawls pivoted to arms H112 and engaging with the ratchet-wheel, and rock-shaft U, j ournaled in the horizontal frameand having tappet-arm u and brake-arm u', substantially as described.

4. The combination of the frame, thepivoted beam B, the swinging levers (one or more) secured to the beam, a cross-beam, x', secured to beam B, and foot-levers X,.pivoted below the beam B and connected to the beam x', substantially as described.
